James Whale between the two Frankensteins, having a wonderful time, and Karloff is the least of it.
The Universal cycle's best film. Whale is openly funny and openly on the monster's side.
Karloff in Jack Pierce's makeup, and the flat head is a copyrighted design rather than anything from the novel.
